We compute take-home pay for 13 provinces and territories × 35 income levels ($30,000–$200,000) = 455 rows straight from our open 2026 calculation engine, and publish the full result as a machine-readable dataset. Journalists, bloggers, and researchers are welcome to use it.

Preview — take-home on an $80,000 salary (2026)

The full download covers all 13 jurisdictions across $30,000–$200,000 — this is one slice.

Methodology

Figures are verified against published 2026 rates from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Revenu Québec, and each provincial government, and apply:

• Federal income tax — lowest bracket cut to 14% for 2026 — plus each province/territory's own brackets.
• CPP at 5.95% to the YMPE (~$74,600) and CPP2 (extra 4%) to the YAMPE (~$85,000); QPP/QPIP for Quebec.
• EI at 1.63% to the maximum insurable earnings ($68,900); Quebec uses the lower 1.30% rate.
• The basic personal amount only (no other credits or deductions), so figures are a clean, comparable baseline.
